Finally, you could get your users to ZIP the files with a password before
sending them, which is not so secure but is good enough for many uses. IT
all depends on what you want.

You can also send pieces and parts at different times to be assembled
afterwards and, if needed, each to have their own protection scheme. Or
you could burn a CD and sent it through the mail, publish keys in the
newspaper under personal ads, flash Morse code on clouds, or try smoke
signals -- all work in one fashion or another to transmit data.
I think that about covers it. :-)
Perhaps you are missing a station wagon full of 6250BPI magnetic tapes as
Tanenbaum's classic "Computer Networks" mentions, with an armed guard on the
passenger seat, for the sake of security.
Satyam
PS: I wonder if he took that out in later editions or replaced 'van' for
'station wagon' and 'CDs' for 'magnetic tapes'.
Cheers,
